A leading music production company has filed Goa’s first complaint at Anjuna Police Station against a pub, alleging songs were played without permission, violating copyright. Lawyers revealed the pub received a legal notice in August but failed to comply. Now, police action is being sought. Authorities warn many Goan bars lack licenses to play copyright songs—estimated at 80 lakh tracks—risking legal measures. Pub and bar owners across the state are advised to secure necessary permissions to avoid similar complaints, marking a new chapter in enforcing music copyright compliance in Goa’s hospitality industry.
